Never waste a crisis

[Tahoe]

A statement Obama obviously believes in. He's taking full advantage of the financial problems the country is facing to push his agenda through.

Now is not the time to be spending like drunken sailors. Targeted money at the financial institutions maybe, but not this shotgun aproach. But leave it to our tax and spend Prez to take full advantage of a crisis to reshape gov't in a more liberal fashion during these shaky times.

I understand thats why he was elected, but just not now dumbassesseseses. All of them in DC

Maybe now you know how it feels?

[Tahoe]

Not a good analogy, IMO

[Wilfredo Ledezma]

Both Rahm Emanuel & Hillary Clinton have echoed the same "never waste a crisis" statement in recent weeks...

[Fool]

Rahm Emanuel originated the quote.

[Tahoe]

They're doing a good job of following through too.

[Fool]

They should do what they were elected to do.

[Tahoe]

^ Within reason, sure.

[Fool]

What they were elected to do should be within reason.

I mean that to say "They should have been elected to to reasonable things," as I would like to think all Presidents are elected on reason but that's probably not the case more often then I'd like to realize.

[Tahoe]

^ True.

There's a ton of peeps our here that feel the Gov't is the problem, not the solution.
